My Youtube Speed Shame

via youtube.com

Google have released a speed checker in terms of youtube speeds, and compared your ISP against major locations, your country and global speed.

My ISP, out of interest, is Eclipse.

For example, "is my cat" versus "is my hamster":

I'm not sure what to make of this, except perhaps that all hamsters lead to death, under the sign of cats.
